Regatta T-shirt part 5

Found an e-mail waiting for me this morning- the t-shirt fabric samples arrived late last night and would be waiting for me at the BAC to check out. I had reason to expect Pat would be up there painting right then, so I decided to go right away, get all this settled. Turned out she was there, along with a bunch of other people. The decision was made to go with a lighter shirt and darker ink, and after discussing some options we picked 2 shirt colors and one ink color that should work well with both fabrics. On to the next stop.

In the afternoon I was at the Studio. The first step (photo #1) was to reverse the lights and darks in the original pencil block drawing, except for the text. Next I cut the block (photo #2), the relatively simple design taking about 2 hours to finish. Got out the ink and pulled two proofs (photo #3), the second being the better one, as usual. The last photo shows the printed image. Normally this is where I'd call it finished, but since this is really just a step in the process. All that's left for me is to turn it in, after which it will be scanned, turned into a silk screen stencil, and printed in color on shirts. Results of that to be posted later.
